Wang Dongmei, the Secretary of All-China Journalists Association, said at the opening ceremony that news media, by communicating information, reflecting public opinions and promoting people-to-people exchanges, have played an important role in enhancing mutual understanding between Chinese and Myanmar people. The Workshop for Myanmar Journalists is an important measure for strengthening and promoting the news media exchanges between China and Myanmar.

 “Media are an important part of China-Myanmar cooperation,” the General Secretary of Myanmar Journalists Association Latt Latt Soe said while attending the workshop. She hoped that Myanmar journalists could learn a lot of knowledge through this workshop. And She also expected China to provide Myanmar journalists with more learning and exchanging opportunities in the future.
